beautiful SONGS"
PROF. STRAuB'S NEW BOOK.
Good Music and Excellent Hymns
FOR THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.

BEAUTIFUL SONGS" is the name of new
Sunday-school singing book, by the popular
composer and compiler of music, PROF. S. w i.
STRAUB, of Chicago. The hymns in this book
are of high Christian character and possess
more than ordinary merit, while the tunes
are rich in melody and harmony. They have
swing and spontaneity about them that can
not fail toinspire every one who sings or hears
them. While they are easy, they are not
trashy" nor incorrectly composed. The mel
odies do not run so high as to injure chill
dren's voices, as many do. The large and clear
type used in BEAUTIFUL SONGS" is feature
that is unusual and very important.
"BEAUTIFUL SONGS" contains 1872 pages,
and is well printed and strongly bound with
handsome covers. We offer it to our Univer
salist Sunday-schools believing it will prove
as popular and well-adapted to their wants as
the other works of this well-known composer
author of'THE LIVING FOUNTAIN" MORNING
LIGHT" and ''CRowN OF GLORY"

The Valley VWgii15a,s trots out nearly all
The men in Virginia known outside Of
their respective bailiwicks, as candidates
for the United States Senate to succeed
Riddleberger. This is the way to put Ma
hone back, and the only way he can get
back to the Senate. Tickle the small fry
and get them to elect d Republican Legis-
lature, and that secures Mahone's election
as certain as the night follows the day
Free Lance.
1t is difficult to please the critical edi
tor. especially if he poses in the role of
an independent" If We had singled out
Gen. Malone as the one person whose am
bltlon to be elected Senator should be de-
feated, we would have been charged with
q personal motive. Or if we had men
toned him as the proper person TO sue
coed Senator Riddleberger, we would have
been classed as one of ''Mahone's'' stri
kers. We did neither, but in the interest
OF what we believe the State, and Of the
Republican party, argued that the Sena-
torShip should not be made an Issue. as
1T would obscure more important cues
lions and enable the Democrats to ESCAPE
from just arraignment for their many
shortcomings within the past four years
Ii the result of the line of argument we
INDUCED should be the election of a
Republican legislature we would be salts
lied. The senatorship can take care Of
itself afterwards. We want to see the
condition of the State improved and the
tlrst essential step in that direction is to
thrust from power the party that has abus-
ed the confidence of the people, prostituted
power to the lowest partizan influences,
and brought discredit upon Virginia in
every way. This ought to be the primary
consideration with all Republicans, and
should they be successful In this achieve
ment. the senatorship will not disturb us
a great deal. The Republicans should
first know that they haye the power to
elect Senator before they commence con-
tention over the person to be selected. A
natural inference from the paragraph |
quoted above, is that the Republicans
should wish the Democrats to succeed
solely for the purpose of defeating Gen.
Mahune's election to the Senate or in |
other words, Republicans should work |
against the choice of Republican Legis-
lature, in order that Democrat might |
Senator RiddIeberge1. We do not
to be a party to that kind of polit-
ical suicide. We are for the success of |
the Republican party, as a means of |
benelitting the state, and if the Republi-
cans should carry the Legislature, we want |
to see a Republican elected Senator. 1t
will be for the members of that party to
determine that question when the time
comes. In the meantime we are for a
united party and a determined fight against
the common enemy, confident that if we
succeed, all other matters can be propsrly
attende to.

died as to the Riddleberger bill and the
decision of the Supreme Court The Rid
dleberger bill proper is only a formal state
ment of the debt from the premises
assumed in it. OF itself, it does not pro
vide an escape from the operation of the
coupon, OF seek an evasion that would
be obnoxious to the constitution. The
auxiliary or enforcing legislation, known
as Coupon Killers Nos. l and 2, was the
essence of the Riddleberger adjustment.
as that gave it vitality. 1t was the multi
alton of this legislation by the Demo
cratic Legislature in 1884, which opened
the way for the courts to come in, and pass
upon its constitutionality. The original
enforcing law had been before the courts
and pronounced constitutional, as it did
not take from the creditor his remedy
or deny the receivability of the coupons
for taxes. The Democratic Legislature
OF 1884 did do this, and in doing so vic.
lated the coupon contract of 1871, and con
sequently was pronounced unconstitu-
tional. 1t was all from Democratic
blunders.
